Admissions Eligibility for our Home

Since July 1, 2013, the requirement to be a Wisconsin resident at the time of application to one of our Wisconsin State Veterans Homes has been eliminated.  Out-of-state applicants are now welcome! The following “General and Subcategory Priorities” will be used when processing applications for admission.

General Priorities for Admissions:

• First Priority:  Veterans*
• Second Priority:  Spouses of veterans
• Third Priority:   Spouses of deceased veterans
• Fourth Priority:  Parents of veterans who were killed while on active duty

Sub-category Priorities:

“Within” each of the above general priorities these sub-category priorities will be applied when processing applications for admission:

• Provide first priority to eligible applicants who have resided in the state of Wisconsin for more than six continuous months prior to the date of application for membership;
• Provide second priority to eligible applicants who are residents on the date of application and who have been residing continuously in the state of Wisconsin for a period of six months or less immediately preceding the date of application for membership; and
• Provide third priority to eligible applicants who reside out-of-state on the date of application for membership.

* For the purposes of admissions eligibility, a “veteran” is defined as:

• A person who has served on active duty during peacetime for two or more years or the full period of their initial obligation.  OR;
• A person who served on active duty for at least 90 days, one day of which must have been during a wartime period. AND:
• A person who served and was discharged from the armed forces under honorable conditions.
• Spouses of veterans and parents of veterans who were killed while on active duty are also eligible to apply.

There are countless ways to enjoy time with a veteran! As a volunteer, you’ll have the opportunity to participate in or even lead member activities, social events, and recreational events on and off campus.
